In all honsesty Illinois State was not my first choice in schools. However I’m very happy with my decision to attend school here. There are so many activities, such a great learning atmosphere, the academics are top notch and the campus and city are spectacular. There’s so much to do!

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Someone who should not attend this school is someone who is not ready to leave home and undergo many hard changes. All ranging from having to put up with living conditions you hate to dining and other things you probably will not like as well. Also this school is not suited for people who are not use to or not okay with living in poorer environments. This environment is more on the lower class side so that is something to consider.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I love it, great environment, resources and teaching. There are on going opportunities that are provided through the university. Chances to get involved socially, get a foot in the work force, and even civicly engage yourself. If I could go through the college application process again I would choose Illinois State all over again.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I have no regrets attending Illinois State University. I was a bit nervous coming to Illinois State because the University did have a reputation, at least from where I am from, that it is a very big party school and that I would be tempted to prioritize partying over schoolwork. From my experience I have deemed the aforementioned to not be true. My academic work became impeccable after I utilized the academic resources made available to the University students and joining a registered student organization truly helped me succeed in my academic work. The classrooms are small and the professors are always available -- I love attending Illinois State University.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

The school is good and has many different avenues for you to pursue a career. If you're entering this school with a career focus you have the ability to succeed, but you need to make it a point to put yourself out there and find the things that will help you. The resources are there you just need to be willing to find them.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I think it is an amazing school with so many opportunities. The class sizes are small enough to feel like you can get that one on one help every once in a while but not so small that it feels like your in the desert with no one else around. Everyone is welcoming and happy it makes you feel like home. The dorms are a little small but that's not to bad cause it just means you have to know your roommate and make friends.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

I came to life at Illinois State University. It is an amazing campus with amazing people and so many opportunities to grow, get involved, and learn. The churches on campus are spectacular and do a lot for the community, and a lot of reaching out to find lost students. I've never had a teacher that hasn't worked with me when I was struggling or met with me when I was falling behind. Overall, just like anything, you get out of it what you put into it.

What is your overall opinion of this school?

Coming into my freshman year at Illinois State, I didn't know what to expect. The transition from high school to college was fairly easy for me, thanks to ISU. The on-campus housing, or the dorms, helped this transition a lot due to being around my peers. This resulted in life-long friendships being made within only the first few months of college. The professors are amazing, too, and the business program is terrific. On a normal weekend, students spend their Saturdays at a Redbird's basketball game, followed by the great downtown Bloomington scene, with a great selection of bars (for those of age, of course :) ). All in all, my experience has been wonderful, and I wouldn't change it for nothing. One last thing.... GO REDBIRDS!!!!!

What is your overall opinion of this school?

As a new student, getting use to the college life, I have gain new experiences, learn a lot, and grew from the little time I have been here. There are many resources to help students succeed, life experiences that will help you see the world differently than before. Mentally, physically, academically I am provided with all these resources to succeed and every staff have my best interest in mind.
